Another Decc Thread

[MBS206]

PM N1GTR and ask him about the the process to have it all engineered, he has a thing worked out with a couple of workshops for good price for engineering and emmisions, including a retune.

Worst case scenario was $1500 for an emmisions tune and engineered IIRC.

if i get through this, thats the next thing i'll be doing.

i just need to get all of my info right, like if i can use any kind of enclosure for my airbox, how to quieten down my exhaust without adding too much weight etc etc.

[SECURITY]

okay ive got the boost controller, intake and airbox sorted.

i just need a compliance cat and a quiet exhaust.

does anyone have the muffler off a standard exhaust and/or a compliance cat i can buy/burrow?

Hi Mate I have a standard 33 exhaust in Picton Let m know if you're interested - case of beer and its all yours. I think I have a compliane cat, the dump and cat back!

Sorry to hear mate, it sucks balls, i got one in the mail on the 1st of OCT was about to cry.

They will say everything has to be stock, and if they try and fail you for when everything isn't. Tell them to call the EPA and as this is not the case. The guy in Granville tried to fail my car the 1st time because of this, although thankfully i called the actual EPA and asked them everything before i went in, and i was able to pass.

Although i know for a fact with things that are modified or not standard which do improve performance of tamper with the emissions have to be first checked at botany or penrith (the test where they put your car on a dyno) and if it passes that, then you can keep them for the DECC inspection.

PS I hear the guy in Campbelltown is the best guy to take it to. Guy in Granville was prick. kept getting 89.9dba on the exhaust test, i swear he did it like 6 times to see if he could get it over, 3 times is all that is required.

*Note I haven't been pulled over in a while, i just got mine in the mail! Devo.

Thanks for your replies guys.

I'm still after a standard cat. Can anyone help me out?

[MBS206]

Joe, personally I'd buy a new one.

Cats are meant to be replaced every 60000km and most second hand cats are useless. That's if you actually have to do an emmisions test.

[SECURITY]

Where do I get a new one from?

[MBS206]

Any exhaust shop will sell a cat to suit.

If you want a genuine (not required as everyone would just buy a generic one anyway) you could order one through Nissan.

Hmmm i can tell you from my experience with the epa of decc what ever you want to call them it is not good. You can have all your aftermarket gear on the vehicle as long as it passes the emissions test but you have to photo graphed will all the part numbers clearly readable and send it into the epa or go to a decc inspection station to have it signed off. As far as a cat converter is concerned i have a copy of a emissions test and part number for a cat converter that was passed on a r33 and it costed me $175 from memory from a complance mob in sydney. I can email this emisson test and give you the part number for the cat convert that is required that should solve your cat converter issue pm me your email address and i can send it through

[gtr_scottie]

Please correct me if i am wrong but the standard Nissan cats don't comply hense why they are replaced during the compliance hense why i had to get a aftermarket one with a epa test report on my vehicle proving that the cat converter complys

If i already have a high flow cat installed, will installing another high flow cat help? OR will the emissions still be the same?

Just taking the idea that 2 is always better than 1 (especially with the human anatomy[although having 2 of a certain male organ would cause all sorts of trouble at the urinal!])...

Some cars, mainly factory have a "precat" before the cat especially to help with start up emissions.

i passed my noise test and everything else except the FMIC. im going to wait for the DECC to tell me if i have to take it to the IM240 test. id actually rather do that than stick the standard gear on.

and FYI steel wool in the cat does nothing. i made a flange shaped restrictor and drilled holes into it and wedged it into the flange on the rear muffler, THEN shoved steel wool into it.

Congrats man, hopefully you get passed with out having to go botany.
